Tone Arm Lifter

Another vote for the Audio Technica AT6006R!  Quality manufacturing, reasonably priced and lifts your tonearm gently.  There are cheaper or less expensive alternatives that lift a tonearm but do so very abruptly.  I wouldn't trust those.  My fear is the tonearm would bounce around and the cartridge & stylus could come crashing down on the record.  Little Fwend is nice, well reviewed but wickedly overpriced.  The AT is half the price, as well manufactured and works just as well.  It's a little finicky to set up correctly but works like a charm.

I like my littlefwend to 

I installed the LittleFwend MK-2 on my SL-1300G. Works perfectly!

Thank you all for the replies!  As I looked harder at the table it seems there is very little space between the platter and the arm in which to put one of these clever lift devices.  I see a few here say they use one with their technics tables, and it makes me wonder if the spacing there is different than on the newer 1300G.
